Mission BBQ

I don’t normally eat at chain restaurants, would prefer to give my money to small business people - and the food tends to be better! However, was famished and couldn’t find a better option when passing through Southington. Mission BBQ was awesome! Ate there twice and besides the GF menu, staff seemed familiar with GF, calling out to the line and prep cooks that the orders were GF. Food was delicious and the only sauce that wasn’t GF was the Texas Twang (on account of having Worcestershire sauce). Will seek out their other locations when I travelling.

"REPEAT AFTER ME GLUTEN FREE" thats whats yelled throughout the completely visible kitchen when preparing my gluten free food. That fills me with confidence. Now I will say generally bbq is gluten free, so when can normally eat it. All of the meats at mission bbq are gluten free, and the only thing they fry is fries which are also gluten free. The person who is in charge on corn bread and Mac n cheese came nowhere near my meal. I will also say mission bbq has both a gluten free menu and and allgerin chart. Just something extra they do to fill you with confidence. I would say a 90% of they menu is gluten free (no not the corn bread or mac n cheese). I love there jalapeño cheddar sausage and fries, my go to meal when I eat out. Taste great and have never been glutened.

Lots of gluten free options. Food was delicious! Staff was very knowledgable and changed gloves. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend.

Food was good dedicated GF menu and were knowledgeable about sauces that were GF.

No issues eating here. Lots of choices!!

Amazing gluten free fries and meat. All of the meats are gluten free and amazingly moist. The coleslaw is great as well. One of my favorite road trip stops now going back and forth from Boston to New York City!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

For a fast food BBQ restaurant the food was very good. They have a decent size gluten free menu. I had the 1/2 of chicken with 2 sides, coleslaw and baked beans. Their sauces were very good as well. I will definitely be going back.

They do have a gluten free menu. Never had an issue here.

This is my second visit to Mission in 6 months. I don't recall what I ordered in December bit it didn't bother me. This trip I ordered the smoked hamburger without a bun (no gf option) with mashed potatoes. This will be a regular visit when I'm in DE.
